Which mammograms must be included in the medical outcomes audit system?

A facility must conduct follow-up for all patients with mammograms interpreted as "Suspicious" or "Highly suggestive of malignancy". A facility is not required to follow-up other cases such as those recommended for short-term follow-up or ultrasound, or cases that are in the assessment category of "Incomplete, Need additional imaging evaluation", however, the facility may choose to follow these patients.
